ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro Tri-Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router, 10G & 2.5G Ports, ASUS RangeBoost Plus, Triple-Level Game Acceleration, Subscription-Free Network Security, AiMesh Compatible

We set up two ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro routers at our property using the AiMesh feature, and it’s been nothing short of amazing. The mesh network works flawlessly—seamless connectivity throughout the entire house, even in spots where WiFi used to struggle. One of the biggest perks? WiFi calling. We live in an area with spotty cell service, and this setup has been a lifesaver. Calls are crystal clear, with zero drops or delays, no matter where we are in the house. As for performance, it’s everything you’d expect from a gaming router and more. Speeds are lightning fast, and we’ve had no issues handling multiple devices streaming, gaming, and working at the same time. The 10G and 2.5G ports are a great touch for wired connections, especially for gaming or transferring large files. Setup was straightforward, and the ASUS app made it easy to customize the network exactly how we wanted it. Plus, the subscription-free network security gives extra peace of mind—no hidden fees, just solid protection. If you’re looking for a powerful, reliable router for gaming, streaming, or even just improving connectivity in areas with bad cell reception, this one is worth every penny. Highly recommend, especially for mesh setups!

Beautiful looking spider machine Was able to go from an asus ac1900 to this one and doubled the speed on wifi. The user interface is slick and fast and much more responsive than any other router interface i have ever used. I can get sustained speed everywhere in a 3 story home,so the router is no slacker The reason for not enough stars is this: running into some issues with the 6ghz band. I do have a ax210ngw on the desktop but it's not detecting the 6ghz band. So need more investigation on cause of this. Its hard to investigate the cause other than getting another wifi 6e client which are by far few. Maybe I'll snag my friends samsung s21 in a couple of days and will be able to actually test it on 6ghz ----Edit---- Update 2/5/2020 On a 1Gbps line, I can consistently get about 700-800 Mbps 3 story up (router is on the basement) on a DFS channel for an AX device. AC devices are no slouches either and now top at 500-600 Mbps 3 story up. On non-DFS channels I top around 450-550 Mbps so that is not bad either. Guess I don't need to buy a Mesh network! AX210 doesn't work on windows. Found a thread on intel forums that it might need a windows update later on for activating 6ghz (thread name: Intel AX210 can't create 6GHz hotspot ). Also found that linux 5.11 should support 6Ghz so tried it out with Ubuntu and 5.11rc6. Unfortunately though the AP is detected connection fails so I guess its more wait and watch with linux too. Atleast the Ax210 saw the 6ghz AP. So yay my device is not broken. And my friend bought a regular S21 so that testing avenue is gone for the time being. Edit Nov 2021 6Ghz band works great on a Pixel 6 Pro. The range is shorter than the 5Ghz band and the phone shows lower signal strength but the 6ghz bandwidth speed in my house is usually more than what I get with the 5Ghz Other than that,the perfect router. I use remote desktop from my top story laptop to my computer in the basement and use Zoom video and audio and both latency and bandwidth are great enough that I can use Zoom effectively. love the router!

Amazing signal strength and was easy to set up. We hardwired our house, so each line has its own connection. We have 4 hard wired lines plus Wi-Fi. The app is very interactive and lets you keep track of connected devices. Guests can use the Wi-Fi and not take away from the hard-wired devices. We absolutely love this and was well worth the price.

Its a router. However, there are a number of issues with its interface and the capabilities it allows you to configure at the same time. When several devices are using the wifi at the same time, playing FB games or streaming on random apps, the wired machines, which you would expect to have higher network reliability, struggle and suffer severely from an unstable connection. When trying to configure QoS to boost the priority of the wired devices in order to alleviate this, the software restricts the other QoS settings to only automatic mode, which disables all bandwidth allowances you have previously set up for all wireless and other network devices, meaning these two features are wholly conflicting and unusable together where other routers have no issue. The traffic type prioritization on auto mode is opaque and nonadjustable, and when it is configured, the wireless management of the router becomes slow and unresponsive. Parental controls and AI protections do not gleam what each checkbox or category means, each of which have blurry definitions and network filtering segregation, making this feature much less effective on devices used by children middle-aged or elderly who do not use a VPN. The firewall only allows a small set of domain name filter matches, making it nearly impossible, and even when configured correctly it is not reliable, to block advertising tracking and malware domains using this feature that made it past the AI, parental, adguard DNS, and on-end-device blocking systems which were configured. There are also a number of issues with having many/most of the useful protections enabled but withdrawing consent for private data, meaning that if you want to use most or any of the primary features on the router, you have to opt-in to their services and submit your router's activity to the cloud. When using Guest Networks in order to allow random users or untrusted family members' devices onto the inner management sector of the WiFi, the primary unrestricted wireless networks for the 2.4, 5, and ~6GHz (doesn't even work at the same time as the others) channels are still on in the background without broadcasting SSID. There is no way to disable these interfaces, restrict their bandwidth or adjust their priority, or limit what internal management access they have with the firmware or upstream modem/bridge device. Adding the necessary guest networks makes the router much less stable and speedy, reducing the overall benefit of buying this router altogether. I had a lot of hopes when buying this for around $400+, that it would be able to be configured for the range of systems I needed it for, but instead, the experience with it has been far from exemplary, and I have had to totally reset the router half a dozen times due to corruption and software malfunction over the period I've had it for. There are few to no updates released for this router as of writing, including beta update channels, and the issues have not gone away. I don't think I will ever buy another Asus router in the future, unless these usability and stability problems are addressed, but it is unlikely they will. (Will edit in future if this changes) 2025 Update: It is still a terrible router. A dot used in an explicit input field has bricked it. Its a shame this thing is too expensive to set on fire.

This router is pretty good, I've had it for a couple years now. Great coverage, fast speeds. Honestly, it seemed to have some growing pains the first month (could have also just been my ISP) but has been smooth sailing since then. If the kids could rate this router, they'd give it 1-star. They hate that the adults can turn the internet on and off for specific devices. This feature is a must have for parents in the digital age. The one star off is because the app is a bit clunky, and also you can get in the uncomfortable position where you turn internet access off for all devices and all of a sudden can't turn it back on cause the device you're using isn't connected anymore. It's a rarely used feature, as a result, instead I opt to just turn each device off individually. Creating a schedule for the internet to automatically turn off at a certain time of day for a specific device is cool too. Router is a bit bulky, and annoying that the serial number tag is on the bottom and not the back or side.

This is a great router for use in a mesh network. ASUS AiMesh was easy to setup with my 2 RP-AX58 AX3000 Wifi Extenders. The user interface is easy to navigate and has great security and parental features to protect my network. The cost can be a bit high for some when you don't find it on sale though.

Great router! Initial setting was a bit difficult, asus app did not see the router until I reset it couple of times, but once set up its running stable and fast! I have 1gbps connection and stable low ping. Great product !

SECOND UPDATE: After seven months use A description of my many problems with the AXE-11000 is below. The good news is, once firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45850 was released AND I replaced my RT-AC88U mesh node with a second AXE-11000, I haven't had further problems. I continue to avoid using the bandwidth monitor and other advanced features in case of trouble. I can't say anything good about ASUS's responsiveness to my problems (or others on their forums.) After submitting many feedback reports using the router's built-in trouble reporting mechanism, and updating a thread on their forums about my crippling problems, the only contact I ever had from ASUS was one asking if I had ever used the feedback uploader (because they don't read anything carefully.) I'm finally satisfied with this purchase, and I've had equally bad experiences with NetGear's high-end home routers. If I had this to do over, I would have waited until the product had been shipping a year before investing in it. A $550 home router should work well at launch -- not require regular factory resets for most of its first year in service. UPDATE: After three weeks use Upon configuring the new GT-AXE11000 in AiMesh with an RT-AC88U, I experienced severe glitches which eventually became so bad that many of my devices could no longer connect -- including super common devices like a Roku Ultra, Macbook Pro, and Ring alarm base station. EVEN ONE WIRED DEVICE COULDN'T GET A DHCP ADDRESS although it could receive broadcast traffic. A factory reset corrected all of these problems. I'll try AiMesh again after a future firmware update. I had horrible results with the OEM firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_42489 on the main AXE11000 node and another 386-release on the AC88U mesh node. For now, I changed my review to 2/5 stars since advertised functionality malfunctions severely; and because the ASUS forums are experiencing some kind of multi-day login problem, which prevented me from getting help from the ROG community. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ASUS markets this router to gamers, but as a remote worker, I appreciate the powerful bandwidth monitoring and advanced configuration options of ASUS routers. I've included numerous screenshots of the router GUI to let it speak for itself. I've been eagerly awaiting the AXE11000 for many months. As a long-time ASUS customer and owner of a 6-year-old AC3200 router, I wanted to update to the latest model, but held out for WiFi 6E support on the new 6GHz band, which will provide more RF spectrum for the next generation of wireless devices. Having used the router for just 24-hours so far, I can say performance around my suburban home is slightly better than with my previous model; and upgrading to the AXE11000 resolved a strange compatibility issue I had with my Ring alarm system. So far, zero problems with the AXE11000. The features that set this router apart from its competition are so numerous, it feels silly to list them: Powerful NAT & Firewall features, Dual WAN, VPN feature, Dynamic DNS client, site survey w/ time-series logs, configurable smart steering, and the AiMesh system put ASUS routers way ahead of anyone else in the prosumer & gamer segment. I'll recommend ASUS 6E routers to everyone once they're able to offer models at more price points, but for right now, if wireless network performance is critical to your remote work and other household needs, consider this an investment just like periodically updating to the latest mobile phone or laptop. While expensive, it is well worth the price.
